“Ethiope East has always been an opposition constituency due to Chief Great Ogboru, which was the reason we always lost election here. However, with the performance of our Smart Governor, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa and strong belief in my ability to deliver purposeful representation, you all voted for our great party, the People’s Democratic Party.

“My party, the PDP, won convincingly this time despite the odds in Ethiope East because of Ogboru’s political influence, yet you stood by PDP. I assure that we will not take your votes for granted.

“I will do everything within my power to justify the confidence reposed in me. I will use our comparative advantage to develop Ethiope East Constituency by sponsoring bills that will enhance our socio-economic wellbeing.”

The member-elect said he would use his wealth of experience in the political landscape to deliver effective representation, especially in the area of lobbying and lawmaking.
